Natal in Lisbon: Christmas Markets

@vinosycaminos

During the Christmas season, the streets of Lisbon twinkle with festive lights and the intoxicating aroma of roasted chestnuts that fills the air tempts you to indulge in this traditional treat. Every year, a giant Christmas tree presides over the Praça do Comércio and converts the entire square into a spectacular 3D light show.

The festive season also fills the city with small markets that offer shoppers an array of goods at stalls decorated with fairy lights and candles, with heart-warming carols playing in the background. Read on to learn a bit more about them.
